The Mysterious Merchant chose to compromise partly because of Caesar's immense mental pressure, and partly because if he refused, he would certainly lose his life here today. He had heard plenty about this Hunter and Ruler. If he had not set his sights on Platinum Gambling City's treasury, he would never have risked snatching food from a tiger's mouth.
After the two sides successfully "turned enemies into friends," Caesar proposed treating everyone to a meal. Upon hearing this, Su Xiao quickly left on the excuse that his injuries had not yet healed. Bubu Wang, A' Mu, and Baja hurried after him. Before leaving, Bubu Wang even carried the weakened Fanny on his back.
Seeing this, the Mysterious Merchant sensed trouble and prepared to find an excuse to leave as well. Unfortunately, Caesar was far too enthusiastic. No matter what, he insisted on having the merchant taste his hometown specialty, "Graham Thick Soup." The name sounded strange, but Caesar was so enthusiastic that, moments later, murky yellow smoke drifted from the chimney of the mansion's rear courtyard.
After returning to the lord's residence, Su Xiao entered the "Secret Shelter." He sat cross-legged before the Skill Upgrade Pod. Although he currently had 80 Law-Destroying skill points, he could not use them. The Skill Upgrade Pod behind him could only provide an enhancement environment; its enhancement function had been destroyed. However, he already had a plan for how to use those 80 Law-Destroying skill points.
Every time he returned to Reincarnation Paradise, he mastered several general passives, which consumed roughly 25 to 30 Law-Destroying skill points. With the remaining 50 points, he planned to master a supreme-level passive Law-Destroying ability from the "Monument of Awakening." Given his current physical resistance, the process would certainly be unpleasant, but he would not die from it.
